I’m brand new to this forum, so please forgive me if I asked a question that’s already been answered.
I’m a young 21 yr old P-Funk fan & guitarist who absolutely admires Eddie Hazel’s guitar playing and trying to listen to all of it that I can …
Though there’s not much resources on the internet for the exact songs he played guitar on after Funkadelic’s first 3 albums and their 6th album SOTVOGIO (along with another guitarist, would like to know which songs Ed was playing solos and writing riffs on instead of the other guitarist on that album) … Dames & Guitar Things, Jams From The Heart …
I’ve heard he occasionally played guitar on some songs for P-Funk even after he technically wasn"t part of the collective, could someone point me to those tracks?
I know he played for The Temptations on 2 albums, but did he play guitar on all the songs on those albums, or just some? Which ones? Same with Bonnie Rotten and other artists he was a session musician for, I’d like to know.
Thanx in advance !!

Welcome to the forum. 
Danny’s book is of course excellent source material for what Eddie played on and who played with him not just Pfunk but solo stuff, too and his work with the Temptations.
It wasnt my sole reason for buying the book but what Eddie did - and the original Funkadelics played on - was a big part of it for sure.
You’ll be surprised just how much stuff Eddie actually plays on. As far as Funkadelic is concerned, there’s really only One Nation where he’s complete absent. Chocolate City is his last Parliament album.
